Travel posters make me smile. They immediately take me away to the tropics with warm surf and tasty drinks.I love vintage 2-dimensional designs as well as modern versions with large monstera leaves and vibrant colors.

Cardstock

There are lots of die cuts for these cards and to mimic the travel poster style I chose a selection of bright cardstock and glitter paper.

• Mirrisparkle Glitter Evergreen
• Mirrisparkle Glitter Red
• Pop-Tone Wild Cherry
• Basis Lemon Drop
• Basis Black Licorice
• Astrobright Rocket Red
• Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 80 lb

Prep the Pieces

Hello, Wish You Were Here

For the sentiment, I die cut Lemon Drop and Rocket Red cardstock with Altenew Simply Hello Die and stacked them to create a drop shadow. The sub-sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words.

For an extra pop of color, I trimmed down the panel and added a strip of Lemon Drop cardstock to the left side.

Sit Back & Relax

 

Altenew Fine Frames Cover Die creates perfectly nested frames in no time. Make adhering the frames a snap by adding double-sided adhesive to your black cardstock before die-cutting.

 

I didn’t have a light pink cardstock, so I colored some up with a pink alcohol marker. Follow the layering guide on the die package to assemble the hibiscus. I adhered the elements popping up some on dimensional adhesive.

 

These easy-going sentiments are from Altenew Build-A-Flower: Larkspur. First, I stamped Relax in Altenew Coral Bliss Crisp Dye Ink. Then I shifted the cardstock about 1 mm and stamped again in Maple Yellow create a drop shadow.

Ebony Nuvo Crystal Drops finish off both of these vacation getaway cards. I hope you enjoyed these projects and that you have a chance to relax and unwind this summer!
